@H718Rws I think this article supports group one’s topic very well. It shows all the outrageous claims surrounding Justin Bieber regarding including his shapeshifting abilities. They tried to support the claims with so called evidence but even then the article still seems absurd. RHUB100
I felt that group one did a good job thoroughly describing all the different fallacies. They paused their video when each one came up which was helpful. Also The video describing Justin Bieber’s shapeshifting powers had no other proof rather than a blurry YouTube video. #RHUB100
In his article, Anderson makes the assumption that we are all guilty of indulging in alternative realities. This underlies his argument because some of his audience might not believe in these, “alternative realities”, as he claims. #RHUB100
In both articles, the authors center their focus around the show “Ancient Aliens” and how it creates fallacies to the viewer, by stating information with no factual evidence. Both authors also make the assumptions that the reader has seen or is familiar with the show. #rhub100
@HMaszk I agree with you when you say that Carr uses many person examples as well as citing established writers. He gives personal accounts about how the internet effects him, as well as citing writers such as Clive Thompson and Scott Karp. #RHUB100
In his article, “Is google making us stupid”, Carr cites personal experiences when stating his own problems, specifically how the internet has caused him to lose his focus. I believe that by adding personal experience Carr is able to connect with his reader. #RHUB100
In the article, “You say You Want a Devolution”, Thompson uses assumptions when he states his argument about fashion trends. He builds his argument based on trends and the belief that he audience has a general idea about what he is saying. #RHUB100
Thompson states how the new age of technology has people writing more than ever, and states that even though 90% of it is crap, we are still retaining more in the 10% than ever before. I agree with Thompson and believe by stating facts he is able to persuade the reader. #RHUB100
@HMaszk I agree with Jamison when he states that smart phones have positive attributes and that we can use them everyday. An example could be google maps which helps with everyday direction and is useful to so many people. #RHUB100
In her article, Christy Brissette Emphasizes the correlation between the consumption of fast food and health problems such as diabetes. This adds to Zinczinko’s article because she explains how choosing healthier alternatives can make a big difference in today’s society. #RHUB100
@Ethan61502703 I agree with you when you say that adversarial argument should be used more. There are too many times when people just yell at each other trying to get there point across without finding common ground. Arguments would be settled faster if this was used more. #RHUB100
An example of explicit argument could be the decision not to support Nike after the decision to endorse Colin Kaepernick. Many people are burning Nike apparel and boycotting it, which shows their values very explicitly. #RHUB100
